Dolphin 4.0-4594 is the GC adapter merge. The crash is occurring somewhere inside libusb.

My apologies, this is getting confusing for me too.
Yesterday i tried ONLY the linked build (4.0.5408-dirty) and the GUI showed up.
Last night, since i noticed there were several builds newer than 5408, i tried them all, and all of them ran fine.
Now here's the crazy thing, today i went back and re-run the builds that were crashing before, and surprisingly they also works now. (!!)
Here's the list of things i did to my system two days ago that might or might not help, but would be great if you would repeat the steps, see if it resolves your issues.
- ran windows update, a couple of updates for windows defender, nothing really stood out. restart.
- reinstalled visual studio redist
- reinstalled directx_jun2010_redist, restart.
- tueidj said something about 'libusb' so i did some reading, and i seem to recall some usb issues when there are too many 'ghosts' devices in a windows system. Please follow the steps in the following article: http://www.techerator.com/2010/05/how-to-remove-hidden-duplicate-copies-of-usb-device-drivers-in-windows/
Please note that the article was removing ghost devices under "Mice and other pointing devices", but i also saw a lot of ghost devices in the "Human Interface Devices" category, so i cleaned up that section too. restart afterwards, as usual.
Thanks.¶

I took a look at that article, and I followed what they had suggested. However, I've recently reinstalled Windows 7, and I've not really found anything suspicious.
And, of course, the latest version still crashes.
